"Qarabag's" performance in the match against "Newcastle" (1:6) has been harshly criticized by British experts.
Idman.Biz reports, citing "The Shields Gazette", that Steve McManaman, a TNT Sports channel expert and legend of English football, stated that the Aghdam club made a weak impression in the first half of the meeting in Baku.
He said the following while watching a replay of Malik Thiaw's goal live during the half-time break:
"It was a very nice header. "Newcastle" dominated completely in the first half.
But "Qarabag's" game is incomprehensible. This is not the team that defeated "Eintracht" at home and "Benfica" away. They look more like a group of players trying to present themselves as a different team. The score is 5:0, but it could easily have been 10:0, or even should have been. Harvey Barnes could have scored three goals if he wanted to.
The game needs to be ended quickly now. Because there is a difficult weekend match ahead. It would be more appropriate to give the players a rest and replace some players. For "Newcastle", this meeting was almost like a heavy training session."
